It's all relative I suppose. Is it fair to compare Jake to someone who plays in a different position? Someone like Joe Bennett for instance. I'd say JFC id a better midfielder than Bennett is a defender.

I'd have thought the change of management has had more of a bearing than the inclusion/exclusion of one young player.
I'm no cheerleader for JFC, but don't pin all of our problems on him either. How about hoping the improvement in team performances brings out the best in our whole squad, rather than rooting out stats to undermine the confidence of players?

he has been poor this season .
So it turns out the only thing Hyypia did wrong was pick JFC?
Correlation does not imply causation.
There are too many other factors to consider (formations used, standard & style of the opposition etc). It is too simplistic to lay blame at the feet of a particular player.
Like I said, I'm no cheerleader for JFC, but I do fail to see how getting on a young player's back will help his, or the team's form.

I will give him stick if he is usual crap self today. Just cannot see any talent in him. I would love it if he proved me wrong.

If we are going to be fair, that statement applies to most of the squad.

Doubt we've got a single player in the current squad capable of doing that.

League one is a strong league with some good teams in it, i don't even think he would be any good in there.

Disagree with Sparrow, JFC needs to build his confidence with a loan somewhere
Bit harsh on JFC.
As he proved under Poyet and also for England U21s, his better position is more as an offensive midfielder. Hyypia played him way too deep to accommodate the hapless Gardner. When he has pushed up (i.e. Charlton, he didn't do a lot wrong).
Can't believe Sparrow has been highlighted as a poor player........

You missed a step in the argument.
1 - "Poyet should play JFC!"
2 - "All you people criticising JFC know more than the England Under 21 managers, Hyypia, Oscar and Poyet all who picked him?!"
3 - "JFC shouldn't play"
